Unpleasant though the facts referred to may be. and although they cause revulsion. we must recognize that these countries are sovereign. and that they establish their own laws. Perhaps our best means in such cases is by persuasion. rather than attempting to hold a club over their heads. Furthermore. we would not proceed entirely with clean hands. Our own immigration policy discriminates against some peoples. We also recall the extremely unfortunate and unexcusable treatment accorded some of our citizens of Japanese birth or descent during World War II. when they were forced to leave their homes and their possessions. In addition. we know that in our country today there is discrimination against some of our own citizens.
